Aquaforest AF Minus PH 200ml

Aquaforest AF Minus pH is a professional freshwater aquarium water conditioner that lowers the pH of tap water, helping you keep parameters suited to fish that need a more acidic environment. It is a practical choice for aquarists in South Africa who want a quick, easy way to adjust the pH of water before it goes into the tank.

Keeping aquarium pH as close to natural conditions as possible matters. Some fish, such as those from the Amazon River, need a more acidic pH than most tap water supplies provide. AF Minus pH gives you a simple way to bring tap water closer to what these species require.
